Production - Image Editing

After taking the images in Sheffield I have began to edit them to make them more appropriate for my magazine. I didn't want to just use the plain unedited image as I felt that if I edited it on Photoshop it would be more visually pleasing, this would make the image look less of an image taken from a camera and more of a piece of art.

The following image I edited was an image of Sheffield which we took from a high place in order to give a better view to see all of the different places within Sheffield. I first started removing all of the sky as the sky was rather dull and I felt it didn't have much place in the image. After this I began to add effects and found a filter I thought worked well. After I applied this filter I then began to work on the colour, I found the orange style colour to work well with the effect.

The colour is based upon another image I took while we were in Sheffield. The iconic Park Hill flats are a very large part of Sheffield, they are very easy to recognise therefore I thought that using the colours on the flats as part of a colour scheme would be an effective art style choice. This makes the magazine feel more personal to Sheffield as it refers to regional references with the flats. However if the reference isn't linked then it won't alienate readers they will just presume it is a random colour option chosen, however if they do see the reference they will see it has a deeper meaning.
